“Zoey did INCREDIBLE with our very needy, somewhat bipolar, cat. Despite his attempts and successes at drawing blood, she was always so attentive to him and giving me all the updates (which I love). I definitely recommend Zoey and will reach out to her when we go out of town again!”
About: I've been a dog lover forever and got my first family dog when I was 12. I have since become his primary owner. Since 15, I've assisted my older brother with dog sitting through Rover, and by 17, I started caring for dogs on my own for family and friends. Whether watching them at their home or bringing them to mine, I provide reliable, loving care for your furry companions. I work part time from home as a writing tutor at CSUN, where I am also a full time student on campus Tuesday to Thursday. In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fenced back yard featuring sturdy gates and tall walls, ensuring they can roam freely and safely. The front yard is also fully enclosed with an electric gate for added security. If your dog is accustomed to crate training, I can accommodate that as long as a crate is provided. In addition, I also have a pool on the property. I ensure the pool area is safely monitored to prevent any accidents, and only dogs that are comfortable around water are allowed freely around it. I prioritize comfort, safety, and fun for every pet in my care!
“This was my first time using a professional car sitter. I was very nervous about it. When I first met Annabella, my mind was put to ease. She is very sweet and has a calm and gentle personality. I have 4 cats. One is a diabetic and needs insulin injections. Annabella did an excellent job checking on them, feeding them, and taking care of the litter box. I am so happy and relieved to know that I can call her again the next time I go out of town.”
“Rachel is great! My dogs can be pretty rambunctious, and she was super patient with them which I really appreciate. I also loved all the updates and photos she sent, as well as being super communicative with her visits.”
About: I’ve taken care of and been responsible for furry friends my whole life. I’ve always watched over families and family friends pets when they were away. Pets activity’s are very important to me! I’m currently a student, I spend a lot of time at home, so I have plenty of time to play with pups and take them on long walks. I have a gated back yard with shade and lots of space to play! I have a friendly 2 year old cocker spaniel and I have 2 cats who are friendly with dogs.
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I work part-time about 30 hours a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the daytime. I’m able to fit pet care into my routine through morning, midday, and afternoon visits, and I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and cat care. I’m reliable about planning my schedule in advance so I can give each pet the attention and care they need. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their pet’s environment clean, secure, and familiar. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, provide fresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I also respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m caring for them.
About: I’ve been a pet owner and trusted caregiver for many years, helping friends and family care for their pets as if they were my own. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and am excited to provide loving, reliable care for your furry family members. As a teacher, I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I bring the same level of care and patience to every pet I look after. Since I’m currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available throughout the week, including evenings and overnight stays, and I look forward to caring for pets of all kinds. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced side yard that provides a safe space for small to medium-sized dogs to explore, play, and relax. I will make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.
“Leah was great. She took great care of Luka. She made sure he was fed, watered, got his potty breaks, played with him and kept him company. I would not hesitant to have Leah take care of our pets. Thank you.”
“If you are looking for a cat sitter your search is over!! Haley was caring, communicative, and went the extra mile to make sure my precious kitty felt safe and loved during my trip away. Thank you Haley!!”
“Celia is the best! She always takes such great care of our lil buddy! She keeps everything clean and makes sure to give cuddles too! When we leave town, we know our lil buddy is in good hands.”
“Samantha is amazing! She was very patient and caring with my cat in gaining his trust. She sent prompt updates and photos on how he was doing along with updates on what his temperament was like each day. I would definitely request her services again when I am out of town.”
About: I have always been a big animal lover. My family had always had at least 2 dogs and cats in our household, so I grew up taking care of animals. I’m very reliable for sitting, potty breaks, medication,etc. I’ve pet sat for family and friends growing up. Currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. Very flexible schedule. Looking to make take care of your beloved pets while you’re out of town! I always make sure that I respect my clients homes and animals as if they were my own. I follow all given care instructions and any other directions that a client may give.
About: As the longtime caretaker of two senior pets — a 16.5-year-old dachshund and a 13-year-old cat — I’m very experienced with administering medications and providing attentive, patient care to animals with different medical and emotional needs. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and horses since childhood and have also volunteered with dog and cat shelters, as well as a wildlife rescue where I help care for a wide variety of animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same level of care, caution, and affection that I give my own. I’m extremely detail-oriented and proactive — the type of person who researches breeds extensively and learns everything I can to make sure I’m providing the best possible care. If you’re looking for someone responsible, observant, compassionate, and genuinely devoted to animals, I would love to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care when you need it most. I’m available throughout the week and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply keeping them company at home. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medications, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets attentive and reliable care. I grew up with large dogs and have owned small dogs as an adult, so I understand that different breeds, sizes, and personalities all have unique needs. Safety is something I take very seriously, and I’m naturally very observant and cautious when caring for animals. Before sitting, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, medical needs, behavioral quirks, comfort level with other people or animals, and of course their favorite treats and activities. I have a PhD in Biology and a very detail-oriented, scientifically minded approach, which means I tend to notice and think about things that others may overlook. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.
About: I have taken care of pets for 10+ years, always took my dogs on walks and gave them baths when necessary. Cleaned my cats litter and refilled their water bowls, cuddled with them and played with them! I am currently an out of state student at CSUN, i’m pretty busy with classes except on Thurs-Sun, Thursdays I can only watch pets in the morning or late evening. I care for my pets by playing with them and keeping them entertained, giving them lots of pets and love and taking them outside or on walks!
About: I’m a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker and sitter who treats every pet like my own. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. I’m great with different temperaments, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with owners. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I make sure pets are well cared for and owners feel fully at ease. I work in the restaurant business waiting tables at night. So I’m free during the day whenever someone needs me to walk their dog or come over to let them out. Always on time. Or even a little bit early. Very patient willing to walk dogs and let them out when needed. Non aggressive with the pets
“Jasmin is super sweet and friendly. Arrived on time and seemed responsible and genuinely interested in working with us and getting to know Luna. Luna liked her immediately- we will definitely hire again :)”
About: Since 2009, I have had dogs... I absolutely love them (and really all animals)! I cared for my two dogs until their passing at approximately 9 years of age since they were puppies. While in graduate school, I volunteered at the Oakland Animal Shelter for a few months taking care of pigeons, such as feeding them and cleaning their cages. So, if you have some unusual animals- I am open to taking care of them too! I also had a 2 week experience cat sitting for my cousin's senior cat by feeding/giving her water and general watching her. So, I have good experience with taking care of cats too although I have never had a cat personally. At the moment, I have my senior dog, Mr. Beau, an 11 year American Staff Terrier I adopted in 2023 at the shelter. While I was at the Oakland Animal Shelter, staff made it known that senior animals are the most often overlooked animals for adoption and that made me feel sad :( So once I was able to, I made it a mission to adopt a senior pup, and I am so happy and fulfilled with my decision. As with any senior (including humans), they come with special needs, such as different medications, loss of hearing, limited walking, increase in illnesses, etc. My dog has had many complications, but with my great patience with senior pups, I feel confident in taking care of their specific needs! I know what it is like to trust strangers with taking care of your pet- its scary! Mr. Beau has specific senior needs and is picking, so I hope my experience can make you feel more comfortable with choosing me to take care of your pet when you're away! Experience: senior dogs, puppies, cats, birds, or other types of pets. I am open-minded! I was laid off from my job at the end of June, so I while I am applying to full time work, I have time to take care of pets in the meantime to fill my weekly schedule! While I cannot provide pet sitting services at my own home because my dog is not friendly with other dogs (sad face), I am skilled in meeting with my where my clients are at. I love to ask questions about the pet's history, current physical state, quirks, boundaries, etc. so I don't cause unnecessary stress or issues. Depending on the pet's attitudes and boundaries, I am open to playing, walking, or just simply checking in on them. I want to try to make their environment as healthy and safe as possible, so for instance, if its too hot in the house, I'd like to verify with the owner is opening a window or using the air conditioner is okay.
About: My first pet was a pigeon that I basically raised since they was a little featherless peep. I also thought them to fly! I was 12 years old. Since then, I have worked as a professional pet sitter in Long Beach, CA with a small company (shout out Happy Tails to You) and for Wag! (another app). I have experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I try to adjust to each pet's personalities. I also adjust to each pet parent's preference and do not mind reading and following your step-by-step instruction for taking care of your pet. I actually prefer a manual as there no one who knows your pet more than you! When I am not dog sitting, I am working with adults and kids with developmental disabilities as a behavior consultant. AND when I am not working, I am hanging out my two cats and dog! I am available early mornings (before 9am), afternoons (after 2pm), evenings, and weekends. I work a part-time job that is flexible with my schedule (I work on-site and remotely). When I am in your home, whatever instructions you provide, I will follow. The more details the better, as no one knows your pets more than you. I also try to work with your pet's personality and needs. I don't mind looking after pets with special needs or need extra care.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was young, and over the past 10 years I’ve pet sat, house sat, and provided childcare for more than 10 different families. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, administering basic routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, feeding, a walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will do my best to accommodate their normal schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, following your instructions closely and keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll provide regular photo and text updates, make sure doors and gates are secure, keep food and water fresh, clean litter boxes or pick up after walks, and give your pet plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
We have rebooked Jill to pet sit for us so many times and I can honestly say every single time has been amazing which is why we will continue to re book her because the care and love she shows our babies tells us she loves what she does. Honestly there are not enough great words to put on here but Jill is fantastic !
Daniela has been coming by on weekdays to let our dogs out while we're at work, and we could not be happier. She gives them real playtime instead of just a quick potty break, always tops off their water, and leaves the house exactly as she found it. Her communication is excellent. We always know when she's arrived and how the visit went, which takes a lot of worry off our minds during the workday. Our dogs clearly adore her. If you need someone reliable and genuinely good with animals, we recommend her without hesitation.
Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!
Kylie did a wonderful job in caring for our dogs while I was unable to during surgery. She provided top quality care to our senior dogs and most especially to my daughter’s dog, Koda. During the time we were away, Koda was struggling with eating and standing on his own. Every morning, Kylie would help him to relieve himself and would also spoon feed him so he could eat. With her kindness, Koda was able to be strong enough to wait for my daughter to come home. Kylie was truly exceptional and is an amazing caretaker for animals.
Annabella was amazing caring for our little senior dog in our home while we were away. Our dog needs medication and prescription food from the freezer so not the most easy client but Annabella managed it all perfectly. She even took our cans to the curb and kept or kitchen orchid perfectly watered!
Andrew was amazing! He helped me out last minute, and I was so thankful he was available. He took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and made everything so easy. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely book with Andrew again. Thanks so much!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
